  Hi

  Please download & read the documentation before deploying the exchange management pack. It will save you a lot of grief.

  What you are seeing is by design:

  Also, a good practical guide "from the field":

  Hi,

  The case is that all of my exchange 2007 servers are discovered by SCOM 2007 R2 in Operation Console/monitoring/Discovered applications! I see all of them!

  The problem is that the exchange 2007 servers still have as state "not monitored" 

  The SCC nodes have proxy agent enabled. All servers are agent managed and of course the exchange 2007 objects, mentioned in the manual,  have been enabled the discovery helper, otherwise they would not appear in discovered applications.

  Hi

  1) The case is that all of my exchange 2007 servers are discovered by SCOM 2007 R2 in Operation Console/monitoring/Discovered applications! -

  Anwer - Yes this is by design. All Exchange 2007 servers will be discovered and listed as Not Monitored. This is discussed in the documentation. You need to enable in a phased manner the discovery of each of the roles. They appear in the discovered applications because the Exchange Discovery Helper object has been discovered.

  How to start monitoring of Exchange 2007 Servers

  To start monitoring of Exchange 2007 Servers, you will need to enable Exchange discovery in the Management Pack (after you have imported it). You do this per server role (CAS, Mailbox, Hub, etc).

  To enable Exchange 2007 Server Role Discovery

  1.   Go to the Object Discoveries node located under Authoring in the Operations console. 2.   In the Look for field, type Exchange 2007 Server Role and click Enter. A list of Exchange 2007 Server Role Discoveries appears. You need to enable Server Role Discoveries of the following discoveries:   Discovery Name Description Exchange 2007 CCR Clustered Mailbox Server Role Discovery Discovers CCR and SCC clustered Mailbox servers Exchange 2007 CCR Node Role Discovery Discovers CCR node servers in a CCR cluster (the physical nodes) Exchange 2007 Standalone CCR Node Discovery Discovers standalone CCR node roles (nodes that are participating in log shipping but are not part of an active Mailbox server) and standalone mailbox roles Exchange 2007 CAS Role Discovery Discovers Client Access server roles Exchange 2007 Hub Transport Role Discovery Discovers Hub Transport server roles Exchange 2007 Edge Role Discovery Discovers Edge Transport server roles Exchange 2007 UM Role Discovery Discovers Unified Messaging (UM) roles

  The discoveries only take place once a day so if you want to speed things up you'll also need to change the schedule of the discovery .. but once everything is configured change the discover schedule back to one day.

  Cheers
